Watch came in perfect condition and on time (it was in stock). no, I actually bought the WAY211A from Jomashop online for even cheaper than what the RW was at Macy's! I'm still a bit weary and concerned about buying from the grey market but I can tell you I've had no complaints so far. But I'm still new to the watch game so I'm not sure. Being that you think the ETA2824 is the better movement of the two, do you happen to know which particular movement is in this WAY211A? I'm assuming it's the Sellita SW200 since ETA is rolling back production. your comments really helped me assure that I made the right choice! There are so many haters and snobs out there, its crazy. Wow thank you all for the quick replies! Glad to hear this community is alive and thriving. TH offers lots of selection and some of 'em might be a mistake to own(couldnt find any more subtle word for this) but not WAY. But if you trust me, you are not making mistake, especially with the aquaracer. I totally understand reading so many hate comments can/might discourage you a bit. I was looking at the seamaster omega before and after i bought my aquaracer, until now i didnt regret it a bit. IMHO) i think its one of the best diver watch out there. But if i compare the price with what we got for aquaracer (A watch is a sum of total everything. I think aquaracer (WAY series)is a really really really good watch. I cant speak for everyone regarding this matter. Well anyway, to answer you in a nutshell, personally i think ETA2824 is better than SW200, but this is again personal experience. Followed by calibre 17 and calibre 18 also not bad. 2 of my calibre 6 are the best gaining "only" about 4 seconds per day. I also own one WAY and mine have better +/- seconds per day (about +7 a day) which already the most +/- among my other TH watches (i mentioned before in other thread about calibre5 but i was told i cant judge it by just one watch). But over years I've seen TH advancing (to a better future IMHO), while many other brands out there not necessarily doing anything intesting. I was once also put off by the hate comments out there. Thanks everyone.Ĭlick to expand.From RW to TH ? Definetely a right choice(no offence to any RW fans in here). Sorry for the long winded post but this entire thread talked about GMT only haha so I wanted to make sure we kept on topic for the OP. However, only the 43mm has the new TAG Heuer logo without the arrow. So the 2016 model was updated to feature a new 43mm as well as offering this new rubber strap. What are some of your guys' experience? Should I take it in to get it regulated?Ī couple other things I've noticed during my research. First of all, do you think I made the right choice switching? If so, why or why not? Secondly, can you guys talk a little more on the Calibre 5 movement? Is this particular model a Sellita SW200 or is it ETA 2824-2? Which one is better? What grade is this specific movement? I read it is the Elaborate grade? After having had it for a few days, I've noticed I'm gaining about +10 secs per day I'm hoping it'll be more accurate as time goes on. So I do have a few questions to the community. I am now a proud owner of the WAY211A and special thanks to Spartan because your YouTube video really helped me a lot! I just loved the look (minus the yellow inside for the strap but it's really not that bad). Having very little knowledge of the Aquaracer, Calibre 5 movement, etc., etc.
Well, low and behold, I came across the WAY211A.FT6068 for practically the same price the Raymon Weil was at Macy's! $1479 out the door. I purchased the Raymond Weil at my local Macy's for a solid deal, about $1550 after taxes:Īfter realizing that the Raymond Weil Freelancer could be had for about $1200 at Jomashop, I returned it to Macy's with the intention of buying it from Jomashop instead. Keep in mind I currently only own a Seiko SKX007 on a jubilee band (love it!!!) and wanted a watch on a rubber strap. With that said, the first watch I looked at was Raymond Weil Freelancer 2760. Naturally I was swayed towards an Omega (Rolex was too expensive) however, even Omega's price was just out of reach for me considering my budget. To say the least I was a bit biased against them due to the negativity. To be honest I was never really that big of a fan of Tag Heuer but I think a lot of it was because of all the hate I've read online about them. I decided I wanted my first luxury watch and have done a lot of research up and down. My wife and I decided we'd keep our wedding gifts to about $1500. Hello guys! Old thread but I'm new to forum.
